Hi everyone. Need to know if it’s possible to oval a bolt hole in a swaybar bracket and if it’s the best solution to my problem.
Went to install a 1mm larger rear sway bar and found the bracket is also about 1mm larger, so the bolt holes don’t line up exactly with the subframe pockets. Brackets look like this:
I'm thinking to elongate or slightly enlarge one of the holes on the bracket. Only need 1mm or so. Is that my best option and how can I do it? Put the bracket in a drill press and drill the entire hole slightly larger? Try to nibble one end only? Is there another option, since I don’t own a drill press? I also thought about compressing the bushing slightly but there isn’t enough room for a c-clamp and it would block access for the bolt anyway.
